hmotorsonline=the way to go
Ive done many transactions, never a single problem at all, recommend 100%

Ive tried many other jdm importers, hmotorsonline always takes care of me.

yeah, i just got a swap from steve at Hmotors... the swap had a few little things wrong.. sensors and stuff, the usual stuff that can get fukced in shipping. I called him up though and he helped me out right away. Hes got really great customer service which is #1 on the importance list with a swap. If i had to do another swap i would go with Hmotors without a doubt.

juzt got a ZC from HMO 2 weeks ago, there were some sensors missing & broken, but i wasn't worried about them b/c I already had them. Steve seemed real cool when I talked to him & he shipped the motor quick & it actually arrived 2 days before I expected it HMO get's from me

It's pretty well documented how well the guys at HMO treat their customers.

Ive bought 3 motors from HMO. I have also gotten an engine from japandirect in NC. Seeing that you are here in MD I would suggest them shipping is cheaper and they are real good guys. I believe the web site is usedengine.com. Give them a call and tell them what you want.
